Grenjaðarstaður

Grenjaðarstaður
hFF folks!

Grenjaðarstaður has been settled since the 11th century, usually by the priests of the adjoining church and their families. The turf farm in its present state dates from 1865 and was inhabited (by up to 30 people!) until 1949 when it passed into the possession of the National Museum of Iceland.
The church bells are from 1663/ 1740 and the graveyard has a 15th century rune stone.

Diese Dächer und Bauweise sind wohl auch ein Beitrag zu einer ausgeglichenen CO2 Bilanz obwohl man bei ihrer 'Erfindung' sicher noch nicht daran gedacht hat...

Vielen Dank, Udo! Ja, da ging es nur darum, dass das Dach nicht wegfliegt und die Wärme möglichst im Haus bleibt;-)

I love the turf rooves (archaic spelling that I was taught at school and still prefer), and the reflected green light on the bells. I couldn't understand the link (lazy British), but looked at the map of Iceland. There is no shortage of lighthouses! :-))))

Thanks a lot, Amelia! I rather like the old spelling:-) The link more or less says - in more words- what I have written in the English text, no need to translate....

Besten Dank, Reinhard! Früher nahm man als Baumaterial, was das Land hergab- und Holz war Mangelware! Torfhäuser wurden oft auch in den Hang gebaut- feucht und schlechte Luft vom Feuer....

A fine document of this settlement here. I imagine that the natural grass roofs provide good insulation against cold and heat too. Well done.

HFF, enjoy the weekend. Herb

Gudrun club has replied to Herb Riddle club
Thank you, Herb! They do provide insulation but the poorer dwellings (not this one!) were very damp.

 Keith Burton
Keith Burton club
Great composition Gudrun........the fences make a great leading line across and then into the frame. The diffused light is gorgeous allowing this shot to be captured in great depth and detail.

I really like the look of the turfed buildings..........they fit into their surroundings beautifully and I bet they're really well insulated too. The detail and the vibrant green colours in the first PiP are superb and I like the textures in the stone wall.

The bells look lovely and have a nice patina on them.........and I like the woodwork too.

An interesting series of photos, which I like very much. Have a lovely weekend.
2 years ago. Edited 2 years ago.
Gudrun club has replied to Keith Burton club
Thanks a lot, Keith! The diffused light was due to a day of heavy rain;-) This visit wasn't originally planned but there was a yellow weather warning in place so we found alternative things to do.
This farm was a wealthy one, so it was less damp and smoke filled than the poorer turf houses.

Hi Gudrun
I like this picture very much!
It is a very different and exciting composition. A nice white fence, and houses with turf on the roof (which I have seen in Iceland so many times)
Best Wishes, HFF,, and stay safe!!

Gudrun club has replied to Peter_Private_Box club
Thanks very much, Peter! It's a good thing that quite a few turfhouses have been preserved. Many Icelanders prefer a modern house and let the old ones rot;-)

Thank you so much, Füsun! They look great but they have to be renewed after a while, just like thatched rooves.

Thanks a lot, Roger! It's part of the National Museum so it's well looked after. Some turf houses are in a decrepit state and it's a lot of work to restore them.
